My flower heads on my Peacock Orchids are shriveled up dead — Why?

John16 asked:

I have grown Peacock Orchids many years and they have always been wonderful producers but this year they are all shriveled up dead. I have very very few that are healthy. The greenery seems just fine but the flowers while they have emerged are sickly or dead. The only thing I have done differenct this year is put most of them in pots so I would have an easy time this fall. These buldbs have to be stored in the basement in the winter. These bulbs came from Wal-mart where I have always had good luck before with these bulbs. Anyone else have dead peacocks??
Zone Five. Yes these are in the glads family. Not really Orchids.
